No Mood for the Nonsense

Some mornings I’m in no mood for that nonsense. I think Ugi should come right now and go outside right now and stop with the games. 

Even on those cranky mornings, I laugh before Ugi goes out. Then I laugh as he stops at the top of the ramp and looks at me, waiting until I shout, "run! run! run!"  before he launches himself gleefully---ears flying. I can’t help but think he’s laughing, too, as he takes his silly self to the yard for his chores.

When he finishes outside, he races back to the door, bounces against it and stands on his hind legs looking in the window. I let him in and he grabs his toy again and shakes it before spinning and bouncing off the buffet—where he knows his +Charlee Bears await him. I say “sit”, “sneeze” and when he does, I toss one three-calorie cookie to him. He catches it expertly and swallows it whole. I smile the entire time.

Yup—Ugi gets credit for my first laughs of the day.
